  |  Print template of choice and color as necessary    | 
    |  Cut out the template pieces.    | 
    |  Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored on both the front and the back.    | 
    |  Optional:  Put thin cardboard in between the front and back of each template piece to make them a bit sturdier.    | 
    |  Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.       | 
    |   3D Bumblebees:      |  Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only cut as far as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the piece).     |      |  Slide the pieces together, top to bottom    |      |  Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through).  If you hole punch, do it through the bee that is cut from the bottom, not the one that is cut from the top.       |    | 
    |   Beehive:      |  punch three holes in the bottom of the beehive template (one in the center and one on each edge)    |      |  string one bumblebee through each of the holes so it hangs down from the hive    |      |  punch a hole in the bottom of the middle bumblebee and string the fourth bumblebee through that hole       |    | 
    |   Optional:      |  print as many copies of template 3 as you like and keep adding bumblebees to the bottom of the other bumblebees and the hive to make a very busy beehive!      |      |  'numbers practice' -- count the bees     |      |  'colors practice' -- color the background of each bee a different color.  |    |
